Spain’s Socialist Party Removes Pork from School Menus in Ceuta to Promote ‘Diversity’
——————————-
The Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) has announced plans to implement a new initiative in the autonomous city of Ceuta to remove pork from school menus, The European Conservative reported. The policy, which has sparked public debate, is being framed by the PSOE as a measure to respect the cultural and religious diversity of the city’s population.

Ceuta, located on the North African coast, has a significant Muslim population, for whom pork consumption is forbidden for religious reasons. By eliminating pork from school meals, the Socialist party aims to ensure that no student is excluded from eating the standard meal provided.

The proposal has been met with mixed reactions: while proponents see it as a necessary step toward inclusion and accommodating the diverse student body, critics argue it represents an overreach of government into cultural practices and sets a contentious precedent regarding secularism in public institutions.
